The marathon starts and finishes north of the Palladium on City Center Drive. The route takes in Carmel's parks and its Arts and Design District, and you pass the start and finish line at the halfway point before heading out for the second half. The course is flat to rolling with a few hills. The time limit is six and a half hours, and aid stations carry water and lemon-lime Gatorade, with fuel at four of them. Free pacers run from 3:05 to 6:00, and no sign-up is needed to join one.
